Police on Sunday night arrested Chhatra Dal activist and Adnan murder accused Nafiz Mohammad Alam, who was recently featured in a Deutsche Welle (DW) documentary, from his residence in Dhaka's Bashundhara.
He has been arrested over the 2017 murder of Adnan Kabir, a ninth-grader, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Gulshan Division Assistant Commissioner Toyashir Babu said.
Vatara police arrested Nafiz as there was an arrest warrant against him, the officer added. “He will be produced in court Monday.”
During the arrest, several bottles of foreign liquor and a motorcycle were seized from Nafiz's house, the officer added.
Nafiz was recently interviewed by the German media company Deutsche Welle (DW) for a documentary on the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB).
In November 2021, Nafiz was arrested by Rapid Action Battalion, and three cases were filed against him with the Vatara police station.
In the DW documentary, Nafiz claimed that he was taken to RAB-1 headquarter in 2021 and was tortured there.
In 2017, Nafiz was arrested in connection with the murder of Adnan Kabir, in Uttara.
On January 6 that year, a local teenager gang Disco Boys attacked the members of another such group called Nine Star at Sector 3 in Uttara.
Adnan Kabir, a ninth grader and a Nine Star gang member was subjected to the attack, and died after being hospitalized.
